Elle Interview Standing For Trees: Leonor Varela Weighs In On Environment, Laws And More

Today, in the world, almost 62,800 forest fires are detected from space by satellite. Amazonia, Central Africa and Indonesia, among others, are still burning. Trees are an intrinsic part of life on earth. ‘Inside every turning leaf is the pattern of an older tree, the shape of our future, the shape of all our history,’ to quote one of Sting’s songs. ELLE meets with some of the most enthusiastic eco-celebrities fighting to give trees a break, and some oxygen, in return. Let’s breathe with them all!

Meet Leonor Varela. You might remember this Chilean-born from the television series Cleopatra. Also a dedicated activist, this radiant beauty has been a vegetarian from a young age. She first began to support ocean conservation, but the fires devastating the amazon forest were a revelation. Leonor now also supports Amazon Watch through the artists for Amazonia campaign. Nothing stops her. “There is no time left”, she says.
